4 Practical Things You Can Do During a Business Jet Charter Flight

There is a time when taking a commercial flight for a business appointment just won’t do. The client wants to see you face to face as quickly as possible and that means finding a way to start the trip now instead of in a few days. Choosing to reserve a charter flight is the only approach that makes sense. While you are in the air, use the time to get ready for the meeting. Here are a few suggestions on how to make the travel time productive.

Go Over Your Presentation

You already have a presentation that includes the basics of what you will discuss with the client. What it lacks is a little customization. You want to make the information specific to your client. After you settle onto the private jet charter and the craft is in the air, start going through the presentation and tweak it a little for the meeting. You can add in data that is specifically relevant to your client, rearrange some of the data, and in general use your general presentation as the template for a customized product.

Prepare Documents to Share

Along with the formal presentation, there are some other documents you will want to prepare. Now is a great time to take one of your boilerplate contracts and adapt it for your client. You can also use the time to prepare tear sheets that can be handed out to everyone who will be attending the meeting.

In your mind, go through every step of the meeting agenda. Identify what sort of documents would be helpful to share at each stage and create something you can hand out. It will be easy enough to print everything out once you arrive at your destination.

Discuss Meeting Strategy

If you are traveling with another person from your company, the time spent on the business jet can also be used to go over the strategy for the meeting. Who will handle what part of the presentation? Would it be helpful to designate one person to hand out documents while the discussion continues? Using what you know about the client’s corporate culture, make sure the way the two of you interact during the meeting taps into that culture and presents your company in the best possible light.

Get Some Rest

When everything is prepared and you have a solid approach planned, use the rest of the flight to rest. A nap during the flight will help you feel refreshed by the time you are on the ground again. That’s especially important if the plan is to go straight from the airport to your meeting with the client.

Charter flights are a wonderful resource that can help you get to a client quickly and take care of whatever matter has arisen. Use your time en route wisely and it will be easier to walk into that meeting looking confident, prepared, and ready to meet whatever needs the client has expressed.

French shooter was on U.S. “no fly” list

The French Islamist gunman suspected of murdering seven people who was killed in a shootout with police on Thursday was on a “no fly” list maintained by U.S. authorities, two American officials said.

The officials would not disclose precisely when the militant, Mohammed Merah, was placed on the U.S. watch list, but they said his name was added some time ago.

Merah, suspected of shooting three French paratroopers, three young children and a rabbi, was killed during an exchange of gunfire with police who besieged his apartment in the French city of Toulouse.

U.S. and French authorities said Merah, who was of Algerian origin, had traveled to Afghanistan around 2010 to obtain training from Islamic militants. He had spent time with militants along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border before being captured and returned to France.

At some point after his capture, two other U.S. officials said, Merah was held in custody by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Precise details of how and when this occurred and what happened to him next are still unclear.

Controverisal Israeli security approach takes flight in U.S.

The changes were inevitable. The Sept. 11 hijackers used box cutters as weapons, so box cutters were banned. Richard Reid smuggled explosives onto an American Airlines plane in his shoes, so passengers were ordered to remove their shoes for screening. The recent London air terror plot was predicated on liquid explosives, so now almost all liquids are forbidden, too.
